Experiences of COVID-19 dedicated ward nurse managers in South Korea: a qualitative study

Nurse managers in COVID-19 dedicated wards need to establish rules and guidelines within the ward to prevent and reduce confusion. They also need to collaborate with hospital administrators to ensure that staff nurses assigned to COVID-19 dedicated wards receive relevant training and are assigned accordingly. Intervention programs for COVID-19 dedicated ward nurse managers need to be developed and implemented. Policymakers need to develop government-level policies and systems to establish a medical support system for hospitals operating COVID-19 dedicated wards.
